EF-5 is pretty nasty stuff. Pretty rare. IIRC, sustained winds of >200MPH, pulls up pavement, no standing structures of pretty much any sort survive.

When I lived in Dallas in 1979, Wichita Falls and N. Texas got whalloped by a tornado cluster. April 10th, 1979 sucked if you lived around there:

Today's the 10th anniversary of the tornado that went through Ft. Worth. Could see the clouds from the office at the time.

The tornado that hit High Point Sunday night had estimated internal winds that barely put it into a category EF-3. Those produce damage that is generally destructive. EF-4 and EF-5 are more in the castastrophic range--whatever they hit gets gone..

One f-5 is way too much, but my hometown had two at once. [X(]

Hi all,

I Loved "Elite", apart from matching rotation with that space station.

I had it on Commodore 64... played it for hours and hours... [:D]

At the beginning when you had no money (and no docking computer) you had to manually dock on station... it was pure joy to rotate and match the station rotation and then enter it... [:)]


Leo "Apollo11"

I had it on a speccy.

Ooooo...someone who actually used a Sinclair......[:D]

Taxes are finally done. [8|]

Hi all,

ORIGINAL: Apollo11

As a side note... anyone here playing "EVE Online"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_Online

No answers... thus it is most likely that nobody here played it... I heard it is Elite-sque and I loved Elite 20+ years ago... my first truly "drug" game...



Leo "Apollo11"

I've certainly heard of it. What I heard is that the older, established players gang up on the noobs, making it virtually unplayable. But I never had the interest to find out.
